THERMAL COMPOSITONAL MODELING OF CO2 INJECTION

Carbon dioxide (CO2) injection has been known as one of the most appealing approaches to enhance oil recovery particularly for light oil reservoirs in both secondary and tertiary recovery sequence. It is proposed that injected CO2 dissolves in to smaller adjacent droplets of oil, then swell and coal...
